Editor,

Allow me apace in your reputable paper to express my happiness and extend my gratitude to His Excellency, President Alhagie Dr Yahya Jammeh, for the wonderful work he is doing for Gambians and non-Gambians at large. It should be a pride for all patriotic Gambians like me to support and work closely with this noble man to archive his dreams for the people of the Gambia.

When president Jammeh speaks, he talks about transforming The Gambia into a country that every citizen will be proud of; he talks about loyalty to the nation, patriotism, participation in national development and many other things in the interest of Gambians. The investment and development President Jammeh made in education, health, agriculture, infrastructure, peace and national security, justice and international relations over the past 14 years have put The Gambia as one of the fastest developing countries in Africa.

As a young man, I am very proud to be a Gambian and having President Jammeh as my president and role model. I am working towards publishing a book entitle "Jammeh - a role mode for every leader." And this book is expected to be published in early 2009 by Evanston Publishing Inc. (Chicago Spectrum Press) Louisville, Ky.

May God continue to guide and protect you and the rest of the Gambian people. May god give you long life and energy to continue your good work.
